Like they will add it. There are so much stuff they should update but they dont.

I think it's the first petition in a long time that makes a reasonable request and not some kind of unrealistic demand that only caters to hardcore fans of a certain game.

It's not to add subtitles, it's to indicate if a game has subtitles.

EDIT:Ah you edited your post, nevermind.

Finally a petition worth signing. I LOVE video games and can't fathom something so simple isn't already in place to help people circumvent a handicap; same goes for color blindness. Always sad to see when the bottom line is more important than doing the right thing.

DoctorJones4266d ago

It's something that's not given enough thought really. I was playing a game the other day, I can't remember exactly what game it was lol, but I remember seeing a colour blind mode in the options.

I'd never seen the option before and it made me think how hard it must be for some people to play certain games if they are affected by it.

So yeah, it would be great to see a lot more attention given to gamers who need help with handicaps, one of the few petitions I don't mind signing.

Colourblind mode is a godsend for me in games that offer it. There are many games out there that are unplayable just because I can't distinguish between certain colours. 1 in 10 men have some level of colourblindness -- it's baffling to me that so few games take that into account.

Sounds like a good cause. Signed. Hope steam adds the ability. Everyone should be able to experience games in some form, regardless of disability.

NicSage4266d ago

I wish that all developers would add in a colorblind option.

I've struggled with it in many games, BF series is terrible I can not tell between the Team colors, Orange for Friendly vs Red for Enemy. Makes it real tough, but I think it makes me play better.

I think this petition makes sense considering to some people it is required and not that it is required for me to buy a game I always turn on subtitles.

Valve Coder Says There Will Be No AMD Z2-Powered Steam Deck

Shaz from Pixel Swish: "With AMD to reveal their upcoming Z2 Extreme chip at this year’s CES, it’s looking like Valve aren’t going to be one to use the powerful APU in a Steam Deck successor."

I don't think we'll see a new Steam Deck for at least a while longer. The Z2 line looks amazing but is also very power-hungry. Valve is likely aiming for a more balanced approach—something that strikes a better balance between power consumption, performance, and, especially, price.

So, my best guess is that we'll see something closer to Q3/Q4 2026. And it will be a custom solution.

Is it worth them doing another steam deck when they are putting their os on other handhelds?

blacktiger86d ago

we don't know if they are doing it

Pyrofire9586d ago

We'll see a new Headset before a new Deck.

porkChop86d ago

Valve said they're going to treat the Steam Deck like a console rather than a phone. We likely won't get a next gen Steam Deck until Holiday 2026-2027.

Phoenix02986d ago

Gives people less buyers regret that way at least

hard joe86d ago

time to buy another handheld then
